I stayed at the host hotel (Trop & Riv). Covenience has its price and staying at the same hotel as the convention is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO easy...plus there's nothing like getting back to the hotel late at night, walking through the casino and spotting James C, Mike C, Mark Freitag & Barry Weintraub rollin' dem bones !! Or walking acoss the street to the Westward Ho and having strawberry shortcake & a marguerita at midnite with fellow chippers...

Geez...I can't wait 'til August Steve B
